What an honour to participate at this year’s International Summit ‘Women, Power, Peace and Securtity’ in Brussels.

The 3rd edition of the international summit on these topics gathered prominent voices, ministers, diplomats and field experts and civil society voices to address the 25 years after the UN resolution 1325, which recognised that armed conflict disproportionately affects women and girls, and that their role in peacebuilding was systematically ignored.

With over 50 nationalities present, the summit organised by Aicha Bacha and her organisation European Center for Development and Geostrategic Studies , echoed that peace is our women’s both personal and collective work and legacy - we cannot and must not outsource it to politicians and men’s clubs. Resolutions are important for setting the direction, but if the field shows little progress, it’s time to course-correct.

Some of the highlights for the way forward:

👉 Women and multiplied by mode
👉 Focus on - girls and women as leaders
👉 Adapting the implementation of women and peace policy agenda to contexts

For our representative, the summit was a valuable platform to bring in the perspectives of women leadership and youth involvement in social change in the Western Balkans.

The summit was held in thr Belgian Senate and the European Parliament, and was an excellent day to occupy these seats by global women leaders.

😃And now the summer quiz final question #5?🍀🤞

We’ve been learning about various topics important for boosting communication capacities in youth organizations, but let’s be real –how many youth organizations create a proper communication plan? Let’s take a look at this key question:

❓How many youth organizations have a communication ?

a) 30-40%
b) 90-100%
c) 50-75%
d) 0-10%

Drop your answer in the comments! For more fun, tag your friends to challenge them. 🤔💡
Answer: a) 30-40% ✅

📊 Believe it or not, youth organizations struggle with introducing a concrete communication plan. Our research shows that only 36.8% of respondents confirm to have invested efforts in planning their communication strategies. These results clearly indicate there is a significant lack in strategic planning with regard to external communication. 😲

Even if you have the best project in the world, you can't just go out there and shout about it, send random messages to everyone, and post whatever comes to mind on social media. 📢💭 It’s essential to have a plan and strategy to follow – what is your offer, what is the key message, who is your target audience, how to communicate with them, how often, through which channels, with what goal etc. Act smart and make a plan on this! Resources are limited and it’s important to be efficient and act strategically to make the campaign successful. 🚀. By boosting the organization’s visibility, you attract more stakeholders and engage them into long-lasting networks. Focusing on clear communication strategies allows youth organizations to maximize their impact and drive more significant change. ✨

🔥Hot topic for the quiz question #4!!! Are you ready? 🙋😃

Our learning module helps youth organizations strengthen their communication skills and use optimal strategies for effective communication with their stakeholders. Let’s see:

💡How can help your comms?💡

a) It improves YOs’ digital outreach by entirely replacing human staff
b) AI offers tools to analyze data and create more personalized comms strategies
c) AI can fully automate decision-making for youth organizations
d) AI can make youth organizations completely self-sustaining

🏵 Take a wild guess and leave a comment below:
Answer: b) AI offers tools to analyze data and create more personalized communication strategies.🎯

AI tools are an asset for a youth organization, helping to streamline communication processes. From data collection to content creation, these tools enhance efficiency and engagement. AI can optimize tasks which allows youth organizations to better connect with their audiences and improve overall impact. Still, we cannot forget that even though AI can assist in analyzing data, important decisions involving values, ethics and human impact require both human judgment and leadership. Youth organizations thrive on mentorship, emotional support and personal interactions and that is something AI cannot fully replicate. Role models, guidance and real human relationships are essential in the youth work field. So, to underline – it can enhance, but not replace. Dive into innovative strategies and be part of the change!

Which one is NOT an effective message?

a) Bringing humanity into digital life.
b) Ride faster, get closer.
c) To shape the future of the internet by creating unprecedented value.
d) We create technologies that drive human progress.
Clear and effective communication is essential for building strong relationships and engaging your audience. By crafting concise, compelling, and relevant key messages, you can ensure that your message resonates and inspires action. A lifeless, impersonal message, as well as a message with too many details, can drive away the audience. Gather your team, arm yourselves with good vibes, and brainstorm together. And don’t forget that humour and personality make your key message light-hearted, more approachable, and memorable! The key to success lies in collaboration, creativity, and continuously refining your approach based on audience feedback. 🎯🗣️

Knowing how to craft a good key message is an essential skill to master, and it may determine the effects of your project from its beginning. It’s also something you can learn! 🤔💡 Check the learning module of our at cet-project.eu for building up your capacities in communication.
